I made a beautiful cowl for Roxy that was taken from a pattern by Michelle Arellano. If you are interested in this pattern, you can go to her shop on www.daintyloops.etsy.com. She has such beautiful patterns and items that you can purchase. The cowl is made with Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Cozy yarn in cranberry color. Here's Roxy sporting her new cowl at work. Hope you like it!

I just wanted to finally add a photo of my nephew, Matthew, wearing the little monkey hat I made for him and blogged. I really wished the photo was of a better quality but I am happy for what I received. Isn't he adorable!!!!

Another item I was working on along with the two animal hats was this very cute and plush bunny purse. This was made for my "niece" Landyn and she chose her colors. Sensations yarn in pink (a very soft and plush yarn) and Caron Simply Soft yarn in grey. Buttons are used for the eyes and to close the purse. Hope you like it!

It has been a very long time since my last post. I am in the process of starting my very own online baking/crochet business and that have kept me quite busy along with relocating my mother-in-law near to us. I wanted to take a little time now to show some of the things that I have been working on that will also be up for sale once my business starts to get going! I made these two hats for my two "nephews". One is a puppy hat made with Vanna's Choice yarn in charcoal grey and linen color and Caron Simply soft yarn in black and white for the nose and eyes. The other hat is a sock monkey hat made with Vanna's Choice baby yarn in goldfish color and linen and Promo Fil yarn in taupe color and Caron Simply soft yarn in black. I took a picture of these hats with my daughter as I am still awaiting the photos of the boys in the hats. Hope you like them. By the way, there are sooo many patterns online with these hats that are free. If you go to www.crochetpatterncentral.com you will be able to find the patterns there and so much more.

The best way to describe me is a person who loves to make others happy. Whether I bake something sweet to eat to satisfy the soul, or crochet something to wear to warm the body, I aim to please those around me! This gives me joy and a sense of fulfillment that I have done my part in making others happy!
